Common Folk Using Common Sense

Iranian military representatives attended North Korea’s Taepodong-2 missile launch, according to Japanese news reports.

Yep, put Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in bed together, wait 9 months, and out will pop a baby Nuke. This is one of the very few times I support Abortion.

At least 10 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attended the Taepodong-2 intermediate missile launch. Japan’s Sankei Shimbun and South Korea’s official Yonhap news agency reported the IRGC personnel were senior engineers who sought to learn from Pyongyang’s missile program.

So Kim Jong Il of North Korea, a.k.a. The Gargoyle™, partially used his recent saber-rattling episode to wow the oil-rich and unstable country of Iran … along with its “Israel to be wiped off the map” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

South Korean sources said Iran and North Korea could be planning a project for the joint development of new liquid missile propellant. Yonhap quoted the sources as saying that the propellant could be used for both Iranian and North Korean missiles.

Teheran and Pyongyang were said to be major partners in missile and nuclear weapons development. Western intelligence sources said Iran has been financing North Korea’s intermediate-range ballistic missile program.

In December 2005, a North Korean ship docked in Bandar Abbas and was said to have unloaded about a dozen intermediate-range missiles. The missiles were identified as a variant of the Russian-origin SS-N-4, which could be fitted with a nuclear warhead.

So maybe Iran won’t have to worry so much about developing nukes. Maybe North Korea will simply build them and sell them to Iran. It’s not like the UN would ever do anything about it. And while it’s a bit of a stretch to think Kim Jong Il would launch nukes at either Japan or the US, it is certainly within the realm of possibility that rabid dog Ahmadinejad would have no worries about launching an attack on Israel (and maybe the democratically-elected government of Iraq?).
